Has anyone looked at using the Sony Mylo as a reader? I know the color screen kinda defeats the purpose of E-ink but you get alot of the same feature set as the kindle for less money. Just wondering. I also think if you get into this line of thought then the Iphone comes into play and I have read the threads on that.

Wouldn't one of Nokia net tablets be better choice? It's the same type of device, only with bigger and better screen and more user-made software

The Mylo takes pictures, plays music and video, does internet calling, and surfs the web. There doesn't seem to be an option to install third party software, so even if you put books on an expansion card, there is no way to display them.
